My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?.

Chapter 1077 I will come with peace! If the mountain does not come to me, I will go to the mountain!

Ten miles west of Changcheng.

The dim sunset shone on the rammed earth road. Ying Chengjiao carefully warned everyone around him: "I know that people have many misunderstandings about me. They think I will cast that damn curse of answering in front of the battle."

"The world has slandered me, defamed me, and misled me. I have no right to defend myself!"

Generals such as Yang Hu and Ying Bu all lowered their heads to hide their speechless eyes and twitching lips.

Yes, coach, you really don’t know how to cast the spell of answering before the battle.

After all, Chunyu Hu, who broke into the formation to answer the question, died a miserable death!

Seeing this, Ying Chengjiao's eyes were filled with pain.

What I said is the truth! It is the truth! Why doesn't anyone believe it?
Ying Chengjiao could only skip over the topic and said, "Anyway, I'm afraid the King of Zhao won't be willing to answer me now."

"So the burden of this lobbying needs to fall on the shoulders of Captain Yang and Xiao."

"I will order my soldiers to set up camp here and not move forward to avoid any misunderstanding."

"Captain Yang, lead Xiao's staff to the gate of Changcheng. Once inside, do not let Zhao's civil and military officials waste your time. Ask directly to see the King of Zhao. If Zhao's civil and military officials refuse, just say that you will be there later."

"After meeting the King of Zhao, I told him clearly that I had come here not to be an enemy of Zhao, nor to start a war with Zhao, but to bring peace."

"I came here for only one purpose, and that is to buy food!"

"If the King of Zhao agrees without hesitation, then I will ask Commander Yang and Staff Xiao to discuss this with the King of Zhao on my behalf."

"I can accept a price ten times higher than usual, but it must be quick, and at least 500,000 shi of grain must be purchased!"

"If the King of Zhao refuses, then I will tell him that I have ordered my personal soldiers to set up camp ten miles away, that I have taken off my heavy armor, put on my crown and robes, and that I will hold a banquet outside the west gate of Changcheng in the guise of Prince Chengjiao of Qin Chang'an, and respectfully invite the King of Zhao to meet and have a chat."

As he spoke, Ying Chengjiao felt even more sad.

Lobbying was the reason why Ying Chengjiao was granted the title of Chang'an Township, and it was also the ability that Ying Chengjiao was most confident in.

But now, Ying Chengjiao’s biggest difficulty in lobbying others is not how to succeed in the lobbying, but how to meet the other party!
In order to meet with the target of his lobbying, Ying Chengjiao not only had to retreat the army and advance alone, but also had to do his best to avoid all elements related to answering questions in front of the battle.

Even so, Ying Chengjiao was not sure whether he could get a chance to lobby King Zhao.

If I get this out there, I'm afraid all the lobbyists in the world will laugh their heads off!
It’s all because of the rumor about the so-called answer before the battle.

Can't there be some basic trust between people?

Yang Hu and Xiao He were under great pressure and bowed their hands solemnly: "We will do our best to help!"

Ying Chengjiao sincerely returned the greeting and said, "The victory of our army in this battle is entirely due to you two!"

Zhang Liang asked in a low voice: "Sun Tzu said: A general should think about defeat before thinking about victory, so he can fight a hundred battles without danger."

"Have you ever considered what our army should do if the King of Zhao is determined not to meet you and the lobbying fails?"

Ying Chengjiao's face darkened a little, and after a few breaths of silence, he said in a deep voice: "That's not possible."

“If the mountain doesn’t come to me, I will go to the mountain.”

"I will definitely be able to persuade King Zhao in person!"

Generals: ...

It’s indeed a familiar lobbying style!

Just when the generals were speechless, a scout's voice suddenly rang out in the distance: "Report! There is urgent military information in the north!" Ying Chengjiao immediately ordered: "Send it!"

Passing through the army, the scout leader bowed solemnly and said, "Commander-in-chief, our troops found a five-horse carriage four miles to the northeast!"

Although the rituals and music of this era have collapsed beyond recognition.

But the person who is qualified to ride the five-horse carriage still has only one identity - king!

Since King Zhao's five-horse carriage is nearby, how far can King Zhao be?
Ying Chengjiao's eyes suddenly lit up: "Are you sure it's a carriage pulled by five horses? Have you seen the ceremonial guard of the King of Zhao?!"

The scout leader nodded vigorously. "I didn't dare to believe it at first, so I got closer to observe. Later, I confirmed that it was a large carriage pulled by five horses."

"But I have never seen the ceremonial procession of King Zhao."

"Another group of comrades are hiding around the five-horse carriage. Keep observing and report back immediately if anything unexpected happens."

"I only saw the carriage but no ceremonial guards?" Ying Chengjiao thought thoughtfully, "Could it be that the King of Zhao was outside the city just now, but fled back to the city after learning of my whereabouts?"

It’s not impossible!

Although the five-horse carriage is respectable, stable and extremely fast, it is huge and wide, and is good at traveling on official roads but not good at traveling on mountain roads.

Considering the mountainous terrain in the northeast, King Qian of Zhao probably abandoned his five-horse carriage in order to quickly escape back to Changcheng, and chose to ride a horse or a single-horse carriage back to the city.

Ying Chengjiao immediately became enthusiastic and gave the order in a loud voice: "Captain Ying Bu, Captain Li Bo, 2500 commander Tian Zhen, 2500 commander Liu Ji, you four divisions will lead the army to Changcheng immediately and block all sides of Changcheng. Do not allow anyone to enter Changcheng!"

The opportunity is right in front of us, and it doesn’t matter whether it is a misunderstanding or not.

Instead of asking King Zhao to move out of the city, it is better to block King Zhao outside the city!
Ying Bu, Li Bo and the other three all bowed their hands and said, "Yes!"

Ying Chengjiao ordered again: "The rest of the soldiers, listen to my orders!"

"The infantry will stay and set up camp and defense lines."

"Knight, follow me and march quickly to the northeast!"

While shouting, Ying Chengjiao kicked his horse's belly and galloped towards the direction where the five-horse carriage was parked under the guidance of the scout!
"Wang Wang Wang!"

Just after walking two miles to the northeast, a burst of excited dog barking came into Ying Chengqiu's ears.

Bafu licked his lips and chuckled, "There's a dog?"

"You can prepare a meal for the master of the house tonight!"

Ying Chengjiao also subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound, and then Ying Chengjiao's eyes couldn't help but brighten a little.

As we all know, King Yan of Zhao loved widows, and King Qian of Zhao loved dogs and birds.

According to historical records, King Zhao moved his palace to keep 3,000 dogs, set up ten dog yards, and established five kitchens to prepare meals specifically for the dogs.

King Qian of Zhao ignored state affairs and devoted himself to training dogs. When he went out, he took the dogs with him as companions. When he had fun, he led the dogs hunting. When he was at home, he slept with the dogs. The main job of the concubines in the palace was not to serve King Qian of Zhao, but to serve the hunting dogs and birds of prey raised by King Qian of Zhao!
Just by looking at the six hunting dogs in front of him with their shiny fur and agile bodies, he knew that they must have been raised carefully and had a good diet. Combined with his understanding of King Qian of Zhao, Ying Chengjiao couldn't help but have some fantasies in his heart.

Ying Chengjiao immediately stopped the eight men and gave an expectant order: "Guafu, you lead 200 family soldiers and 1,000 personal soldiers to follow the scouts and rush towards the five-horse carriage."

"The rest of you will follow me and continue forward in the direction these hounds are running from!"

Immediately, a scout rushed towards the hound, identified the footprints and tracks, and then explored the way forward.

Ying Chengjiao also slowed down his horse and followed behind, suppressing his excitement and shouting: "King Zhao, I'm coming!"
